Never Split Tens!

Illustrations by the author. "I found the story tremendously entertaining, with a pantheon of compelling characters such as gambler Ed Thorp and bookie Manny Kimmel taking us from the casinos of Nevada to those of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Les Golden's novel is a triumph begging for adaptation to the screen."-- LANA WOOD, Film and T.V. Producer, Actress ("Diamonds Are Forever") Best-selling Author, "Les Golden has an ever-increasing influence and burgeoning popularity.A significant name in the industry, the 'go to' man for strategy and anecdotal literarydexterity. I cannot acclaim his star highly enough."-- JAMES MCKEOWN, Editor, "Les Golden is a comedy genius. It really is as simple as that. An expert in the field,he makes getting educated not only painless but actually funny."-- DAVE BLAND, Editor, , British television pundit "I learn more about strategy through Les' writings than I do through many failed tripsto Vegas. Always concise, easy-to-read, and intelligent."-- JON YOUNG, Editor "Les Golden makes numbers hilarious. He's simply the funniest gaming strategy writer there is. His writing is 'rakish' and 'bond-esque.' "-- PHILIP CONNELLER, Editor, "The dialog crackles and the fictional elements brilliantly illuminate how cool Ed Thorp is. And there's just the right amount of blackjack and math. I love it."-- AARON BROWN, Professional gambler, Wall Street risk managerAuthor,
